    see Lachlan Murdoch's guest blogger, Adam Shaw, on whether Donald Trump
    regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question
    on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-admin-proposes-reforms-controversial-h-1b-visa-program>
    | Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., also introduced legislation that would set a
    | wage floor for H-1B visa recipients equal to that being paid to
    | American workers currently in the position, or $110,000 -- whichever
    | is higher.
    |
    | Recently, 2024 presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy said he would
    | "gut" the program if elected president.
    |
    | "The lottery system needs to be replaced by actual meritocratic
    | admission. It's a form of indentured servitude that only accrues to
    | the benefit of the company that sponsored an H-1B immigrant. I'll
    | gut it," he said in a statement to Politico.

    Will Murdoch allow Ron DeSantis to use Murdoch's FoxNews.COM campaign
    bullhorn to seize Trump's right flank on the National Question?

    "One argument is that McCarthy and McDaniel are actually not that
    bad and therefore it's totally fine to have this sort of thing. But
    in that case, you're arguing that Trump is basically incapable of
    fundamentally changing the GOP, which defeats the stated purpose of
    Trump." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1610208467695837184>
